Shahid plans to throw a huge birthday bash for all his Bollywood friends.

According to Mumbai Mirror, Shahid Kapoor plans to have a spectacular birthday bash in Morjim beach, where his friend has a bungalow.

While most of Shahid Kapoor's friends flew down for the big party last night, Shahid along with Nargis reportedly left for Goa on Wednesday morning itself. As per reports, Shahid, who will be celebrating his birthday on February 25th has planned a very grand party.

While Genelia D’Souza, Rani Mukerjee, Tabu, Kunal Kohli, Ahmed Khan and Siddharth Anand are few of the guests invited by Shahid at the bash, sources claim that Shahid Kapoor hasn't invited his girlfriend Priyanka Chopra at the party.

Well, is Shahid and Nargis the new lovebirds in tinselville? Just wondering!

MUMBAI: Shahid Kapoor celebrated his 31st birthday Saturday with 30 of his close friends in Goa, and says he had a blast.

"Just spent the last two days with 30 of the maddest, funnest people... Great to feel friendship, love, real smiles and joy with those who matter. Will miss you Goa... You really are special," Shahid posted on his Twitter page.

As the actor gears up for his birthday celebrations this year at Morjim beach, Goa, we wonder what made him strike off "good friend" aka ex-girlfriend Priyanka Chopra from his guest list

As the Kapoor kid gets a year older, he's all set to be at his hospitable best at his birthday party, which is why he flew out to the venue a couple of days early to make sure that everything's organised perfectly. But when we came across a picture of Shahid Kapoor having a gala time in Goa with a couple of Kingfisher models, we had to wonder what the status of the party is at the moment.Looks like the weather of Goa and the special attention from the bikini-clad beauties has made Sasha a lazy boy. Of course, we cannot help speculating if this is not a new style of shoot that photo-whiz Atul Kasbekar is cooking up for the annual calendar for the beleaguered airline! The people invited for the party as of now are Tabu, Ahmed Khan, Genelia D'Souza, Rani Mukerji, Siddharth Anand and Kunal Kohli, to name a few. Now even though Shahid and Priyanka Chopra have recently shot for a movie together and were on absolutely cordial terms till now, we wonder what the sudden bone of contention is.

Whatever it is, we must say we are happy to see Shahid relaxing on the idyllic beaches – and porches – of Goa with gorgeous babes to keep him company. Vicarious thrills, you see!

Actor Shahid Kapoor, who recently gifted himself his dream car — a Jaguar — a little ahead of his birthday, has only one birthday resolution to make today — 'to party hard and then party harder all this week before I get back to work!' "It will be a weeklong party for me," is what Shahid is said to have told his friends and that's exactly what he's been doing. The actor, who turns 31 today, is already in Goa since Wednesday and had plans to ring in his birthday last night with non-stop partying with friends. And this list of friends, include actors Nargis Fakhri and Tabu, both of whom flew in to Goa to join him in his birthday revelry.

While Tabu is a good friend of the actor for quite some time now, his friendship with Nargis has already set tongues wagging in B-Town linking up the two. But a source close to the actor says that it's assuming too much at the moment. "Shahid met Nargis at a recent awards show, where they performed together. They both hit it off instantly and have been friends since." As for them dating, an insider reveals, that they both are single at the moment and closer in age, so they are just bonding. "It's too early to say that they are dating each other. Right now they are just getting to know each other better, but who knows what happens in the future," adds the insider. The actor has gifted himself this mini-break of sorts, before he gets back into the Bolly grind. "Shahid will be there till the 27th. He's in a very happy space, both personally and professionally, and is making the most of the time in hand before he starts shooting," added the source. While there were speculations of whether good friend Priyanka Chopra too will join in the fun in Goa, there's been no confirmation yet and sources say that she might not have been invited at all.

As Shahid Kapoor is soon set to step in his 32nd year, we see what his stars predict for his future.

His last film Mausam directed by his father Pankaj Kapur turned out to be a damp squib at the box office. Even his much talked about relationship with Priyanka Chopra went sour.

As his birthday comes close, we ask astro numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi on what the future holds for the talented Shahid Kapoor? "Shahid was born on 25th February 1981 which makes him a Number 7 (Ketu) person in numerology. He is a Piscean (ruler Jupiter - Number 3) and his destiny number adds up to Number 1 (Sun). Since he is ruled by Number 7, he is automatically ruled by Number 2 (Moon) as these two numbers always go hand in hand" explains Bhavikk.

"Being a Number 7, Shahid is very creative but also very moody. He can be soft spoken and family loving but at the same time very temperamental and aggressive. He will acquire what he wants from life no matter what and will get it on his terms. Even money would keep flowing in and he shall have no major monetary problems as such ever in life. He should learn to keep his secrets of life to himself as he easily gets targeted by negative forces around him which may hamper his progress personally as well as professionally", he explains further.

"This year when Shahid will be primarily running in his 32nd year will also prove to be just plain average for him. His work in his next release Kunal Kohli's 'Teri Meri Kahaani' (tentatively titled) with ex-girlfriend Priyanka Chopra will be much appreciated, but the film may not do well as expected", predicts Bhavikk.

"Even on the personal front, things might not be that good for Shahid. He will actually have to wait for some more time (read 2014) to find his 'true love' and only then he can think of settling down".

"Wearing a Cat's Eye set in silver on his smallest finger on a Thursday night will help him deal with the tremendous amount of negative energy which he is surrounded with", signs off Bhavikk on a serious note.

It is a well-known fact that Shahid Kapoor has a step father Rajesh Khattar with whom he has spend all his growing years till the time he entered movies & awakened to his Kapoor pedigree & apparently got close to his biological father Pankaj Kapoor.

People in know vouch that Rajesh & Shahid were very close & Shahid did insist on changing his surname to Khattar ( which incidentally he still carries in his passport till date). But today things are different,as he hasn't ever acknowledged Rajesh in public,so when recently Shahid went for a music club opening , he was taken aback coming face to face with Rajesh

Both met effusively but were visibly uncomfortable with the presence of camera's & predictably Shahid left immediately after. It is said that they still share a very warm relationship but then why shy away from public eye. Time to reveal the reason why are you so elusive about your relationship with a man you have spent more than 10 yrs & considered your father Mr Shahid Kapoor ( aka Khattar )

Though there has been buzz about Sonam Kapoor and Punit Malhotra, the actress still maintains that she is single The actress also denies having anything against Shahid Kapoor.

She took to Twitter to clear the air, "I'm hearing the funniest rumours about myself! In Thailand, and all I can say is I'm on the floor laughing.Okay morning guys I'm not mad at Shahid Kapoor or Punit Malhotra and I'm not dating anyone! I'm minding my own business and working." Sigh... till the next time Sonam is spotted with Punit.

Shahid Kapoor Talks about Single Life and Relationship with Priyanka Chopra

It's official: Shahid Kapoor is back to being a bachelor.

The Times of India sat down with Shahid and asked him the question girls all over have been wanting to know: Is he single?

"According to my last memory," the actor replied, "I am single."

Shahid has dated his fair share of Bollywood's most beautiful women. He was in a long-term relationship with Kareena Kapoor (the two split during filming of their hit film Jab We Met, though their chemistry was still palpable right through to the final scene) and then dated Priyanka Chopra (famously answering her door in his shorts when tax agents came after Priyanka last year). Speaking of Priyanka Chopra, Shahid had only the nicest things to say about her .

She is great fun, a good co-star, a fine actor, neighbour and friend.

If Shahid Kapoor harbors any bitterness over Priyanka leaving him, it doesn't come through in how he speaks about her. Clearly he's still fond of his ex (though one has to wonder what he thinks about her new "relationship" with Shahrukh Khan), and is gentlemanly enough to praise her in public during a time when her reputation is constantly in jeopardy.

The handsome actor has found a way to distract people from his uninteresting love life – by making bizarre and blunt statements

Shahid Kapoor has an opinion on everything nowadays it seems, with opinions that amuse us no end. At a recent event the actor said, “I like being used” when quizzed about his link-ups to Vidya Balan, Priyanka Chopra and Anushka Sharma. Shortly after that he lashed out at the media for linking him with Anushka Sharma, saying, “There’s a limit to everything. I felt disgusted to read reports about a lady who comes from respected family.” Uh oh! But weren’t you liking it a while ago, Shak? The latest that caught our attention was Shahid’s verbal lashing out at his alleged ex-girlfriend Bipasha Basu’s item number. Looks like our man vehemently disagrees with actors blurring the lines between their ‘real’ and ‘reel’ selves. “It’s very personal. I would be embarrassed by it but I am sure a lot of people will like it. I don’t think there is anything wrong with it. I think in films we play different characters, so how could you have songs on your own name is beyond my logic,” he said at an event. But that’s Bipasha’s personal choice, no?

And Shahid, wethinks you aren’t really involved in it…or are you? Anyway, we would’ve continued to ponder the Mausam man’s comments and reasons related to them when the actor himself offered an explanation with “I’m unemployed,” and blamed it all on director Manish Sharma’s slipped disc that’s preventing his upcoming movie (Yash Raj Films next) from hitting the floors. Ah, so an empty mind becomes the devil’s workshop here, to blame for Shahid’s devilish remarks, is it? Dear Sasha, you can continue making quirky comments and blaming it all on others, but the question that begs to be asked is – how long before someone demands some answers from you?

While Bipasha Basu has been raving about her latest song "Bipasha", actor Shahid Kapoor, once rumoured to be dating her, says he fails to understand the logic behind having songs named after actors' names.

Personally, he says he would be uncomfortable with it.

"It's very personal. I would be embarrassed by it but I am sure a lot of people will like it. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I think in films we play different characters, so how could you have songs on your own name is beyond my logic," the 30-year-old said here at an event.
